Ballantine’s 17 Year Old
Colour
Clear, golden amber.
Nose
Smooth vanilla and oak with a sensation of smoke
Taste
Full and complex, vibrant honey sweetness and creamy vanilla flavours with hints of oak and spicy liquorice.
Finish
Long, sweet and smooth with a hint of spice.
The longer maturation of Ballantine’s 17 Year Old whisky gives an extra depth of flavour and character to the blend. Characterised by a subtle sensation of smokiness its got a fruity and velvety texture coming from fresh fruits.
The blending skills at Ballantine’s have long been renowned. The 17 has always seemed the most eloquent demonstration of that. Beautifully composed and mature
